Question

I am having a problem with setting the main activity that is supposed to be shown on the emulator. Initially I already have an main activity (my first page) that will be shown when I first start up my emulator.
But then now I wish to change the first activity that will be shown first when I run my application. I have changed the name of the activity in my android manifest however the first activity that runs is my previous activity instead of the new one that I have created. I have no idea why the new activity won’t show although I have changed the android manifest
Anyone has an idea on solving my problem? Thanks in advance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Specify the activity which you want to be launched initially with the intent filter in your Android Manifest.xml

<activity
            android:name=".newActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".FirstAvtivity" />
